Actually, that is probably my most common type of fall while MTBing. It is such a fine line between powering your way through a tough climbing situation and being stopped by lack of momentum and falling over, unable to remove the cleat from the pedal before falling. I call it the "nomogo" fall. This kind of slow motion fall can be very entertaining as it often involves a slow motion tumble backwards or sideways down a ledge. Just a few degrees of rotation is the difference between an admirable accomplishment or an embarrassing failure. You rarely know which it will be until it is too late to bail out. Never falling means you aren't trying hard enough.
